Well, there is ZERO chance Obama will repeal Obamacare, so I'll vote for any Republican (in a couple cases holding my nose) in the hopes they are telling the truth about getting rid of it. Even if there's only a 5% chance, it is still a chance.

Unlike many on here, I refuse to do anything that will help enable Obamacare to continue. Voting 3rd party enables this garbage plan to continue and we will be too late in 2016.

Obama

He hasn't lived up to expectations but to me Romney and Gingrich would be 200% worse.

Oh and you are ready to pay the cost of living in the Caymans I am sure. Believe me, we almost did move there for a job, but it did not take us long to change our minds.

Yeah, I've heard about the cost of living-it might not be worth it. But then again, there's no income tax!

Unless you are going to denounce the USA, then you are stuck. Hey, at least you have a choice. Many of us (myself included), have no choice but watching them destroying it. I don't blame them. I just blaming the people who put them in power.

Ron Paul or nobody. Possibly Libertarian, if I'm in a state that includes L candidates on the ballot (currently not, but we're moving). I can't vote D or for any of the other R's because they all want to continue spending money we don't have in an attempt to rule the world.

It seems Americans have lost their fighting spirit and forgotten that it is We The People that should have the real power-Not Corporations, Not Lobbyists and Special Interests, Not Mainstream Media, Not Politicians and Not the Federal Reserve and "Too Powerful to Fail" Banks. I don't expect people to wake up in time.
The lobbyists have too much power. Paul is the only decent candidate, if mitt or Obama win, big banks win again, and taxpayers are screwed, yet again, as usual.

Montreal is a nice city looking into it. At the rate America is controlled by investment banks, it will be nice to start afresh.

A vote for anyone other than Ron Paul is a vote for the status-quo.

If Ron Paul is not on the ballot, then it makes NO difference, among the following, who you vote for:

Obama, Elmo, Romney, Bert, Santorum, Ernie, Gingrich, Cookie Monster, Bachmann, Grover, Perry,...

Go ahead, pick a puppet.
I refuse.

They are all owned by the 5 biggest banks. Except for Ron Paul.

If Ron Paul is not the GOP nominee I will get ready for the full on destruction of American and just watch OBama lite and Obama fight over which socialist plan they want for america.

Maybe I will, like many Americans hold on to my guns and some sort of old religion known as FREEDOM!
